I had jsut received a Project: 18011 (Run 0, Clone 404, Gen 19) which has 1 day Timeout and 2 days Expiration.
But on my laptop(with mx150) its TPF is 19.5 minutes,ETA is 1.37 days. which means that I can`t finish it befor Timeout even if I ran it 7*24.If i shutdown my laptop overnight the WU will be expired.
PLZ extend the deadline of this Project TKS.

I noticed rafal.wiewiora have set all its GPU Project to 1 day Timeout and 2 days Expiration.Even Project 18010 with 209,848 base points. my Project 18011 has 96,016 base points.

It sounds like the project needs tweaked to raise the minimum GPU species it's allowed to run on.

I doubt if you'll receive the higher value work units, there's quite a few desktop cards that would struggle to process them and the minimum GPUs species should already be very high.
I think part of the problem is that when the GPUs are assigned a species it's based upon capability, not performance. The performance difference between a desktop and mobile variant of the card can be considerable.
Those higher value units can be processed well within the 24 hour timeout but it takes high-end kit. My own RTX 2070 Super recently munched through a 113K unit in about 4 hours.

I don't run the lower power stuff anymore. There was a time I didn't mind adding it in part-time to give a boost with smaller units but it kept being hit with big units, which really bugged me because my high-end kit was only seeing the smaller units. I don't mind getting the big units but would have preferred to see it on the high-end kit.

Or possibly the MX150 needs to be reclassified to a lower species level that it currently is. That and a few other of the low end GPUs.

A project was started last year to change how WUs from various projects were assigned to GPUs of different processing speeds. It was paused for a while when they needed the developer resources elsewhere, so I don't know when they will complete this change.
